Annalisa
has been a huge
fan of Blondie since they first arrived on the punk scene, Debbie Harry
being her biggest idol: "She's one cool chick!". Annalisa originally
trained as a classical ballet dancer, attending Grandison College, Elmhurst
Ballet School and later, Bush Davies Ballet School. Having given up dancing
due to an ankle injury she hoped to pursue a career in acting. During her
last school days at a local comprehensive she planned to apply for a place
at drama school, while training in a Croydon salon, then later working cutting
hair.
Annalisa has three children with
former band member Martin.
February 2006 had a song published in the U.S.A.
Written with former band member Gmac.

more info on Dave |
Dave was
born, coincidentally, on his birthday. But some years ago!
He learned to play keyboards by ear, and was spurred on when his school
music teacher urged him to stop 'messing around' on the schools beautiful
grand piaaaano. 'It's not for everyone'.
He played with several local bands, gigged regularly on the London circuit
with a band called 'Competition' - a 'post punk' / 'new wave' ... something
or other type of band!
He has also worked with numerous friends and associates on countless 'non
profitable' enterprises musicale, and writes his own music/songs.
Influences range from Keith Emerson, Jools Holland, Ivor Cutler, Vivian
Stanshall, Brian Eno, Erik Satie, Frederick Chopin, Keith Jarrett, and
... of course ... John Peel.
Working at Advision recording studios in London also brought him into
contact with countless stars of stage and screen. Even got to sup champagne
with some of 'em!
In his spare time - when not gigging with other bands .... he dabbles
with 'am dram', and is quite a hit on the dance floor (it says here!),
and also runs dance events in the world of 'modern jive' with his dance
company 'Club Jive'.
